The undecided ones

That is what I see. And there is a real danger here and we will see the end come because some people cannot make decisions. They are too scared to be seen ‘in a bad light’ but the their inactions have more dire consequences than they are willing to admit to, because they are in a setting “we can talk with them”, “we could find a mutual solution” but the direct setting is that they do not want to talk. The want to lead at the expense of everyone and everything. I am of course talking about Iran and now their terrorist branches Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthi. The indecisive actions by the United States is making its mark, because Iran sees the weakness in the United States. The bully president talks and talks, but the weary part of all this is seen, the United States is broke beyond belief and they can no longer boast what they want, well they could, but it is now reaching more and more deaf ears. So whilst we get “Good morning. Donald Trump has used the platform of the UN general assembly in New York to threaten to “annihilate the Islamic republic” of Iran, “and do it quickly”. He called on countries to unite to isolate Tehran and bring down global energy prices.” So how are they doing that exactly? You see, they started their clambake 207 days ago (which amounts to 29 weeks and 4 days) and they weren’t able to stop Iran and others (like the Houthis) are seeing this as a weakness. All that, whilst I gave a much better setting in the last 29 weeks that is better, more complete and it hinders the Iranians to a much larger effect and my ‘plan’ didn’t cost and whilst AP News gave us that this is costing the USA $43.6 billion, my ‘plan’ did it at a fraction of the cost and a lot more complete. This is not a brag, I placed the idea in my blog and I gave it free of charge to the UAE and Saudi Arabia, because when these places are under attack, you are not asking for money (it would still be nice though) but these inventions are untested and they get it for free and can decide how to implement it. I had France WW2 as an example. As such it might merely be a partial innovation (aka iteration) on this. And I am not undecided, I decided to hand Saudi Arabia (the UAE too) whatever I had to counter Iran and its three terrorist organisation and perhaps my way will not work. More able engineers than me can decide on that. I am not undecided. So in the meantime we see the CSIS give us ‘Is the United States Abandoning Saudi Arabia at Its Moment of Need?’ Where we see “By 2022, Saudi Arabia and the Houthis had negotiated a ceasefire. It held imperfectly until July 2026, when Saudi Arabia was attacked again—this time most definitely by the Houthis. The attacks plunged Saudi Arabia into a conflict it had hoped to avoid.

Houthi missiles, mostly intercepted, began targeting Saudi Arabia on July 13. The Houthis announced a naval blockade on July 22 and began targeting oil tankers carrying Saudi crude in the Red Sea. They then began attacking Saudi energy infrastructure, culminating in a strike on an oil refinery in Jazan on August 9. On September 10, an Iranian-backed militia in Iraq—plausibly coordinating with the Houthis—struck the critical East-West Pipeline that had allowed the country to reroute its oil exports from the Strait of Hormuz to the Red Sea. And on September 18, a Houthi ballistic missile targeting Riyadh was intercepted by Saudi air defenses.” As I personally see this, the Iranian puppets are now acting against Saudi Arabia and this requires more than just shrugging. A few weeks ago I gave Saudi Arabia more ideas and put is up to them to distill if my ideas have merit. I believe it does. We need to act in support of allies and I have always regarded that Saudi Arabia and the UAE are allies. As such we need to act. So I am in favour of acting, but we get from the Guardian ‘Trump calls off airstrikes at last minute’ and we can set this to all kinds of reasons, but in the end their ally Saudi Arabia was under attack and they became an undecided party. So what is the right action? As I see it we stand with Saudi Arabia (with the UAE too) and we take Iran and his terrorist organisations to the cleaner. I am too old to fight, but I have a few good ideas and the first one is to destroy the harbour of Mocha and destroy whatever it gets in ships, because that is how the Houthi get their weapons. It seems that their source is Eritrea, but how do they get there? That is where I see it different. The Iranian ships come to the Gulf of Aden and most likely the Iranians have a deal with people around Aden (pure speculation on my side), there I too much with Eritrea I am not accepting, it is almost like the intelligence is set for Saudi Arabia to start unprovoked attacks on Eritrea. And I am driven by evidence (and I am not privy to the evidence that might exist), so basically I am flying blind. But the media knows a lot more and they are absent in the reporting of the Iranian Houthi acts. They basically merely state ‘Iran-backed Houthis’ all whilst it should be ‘the Iranian puppet run Houthi terrorists’ and there is no place for the undecided ones. So whilst they are trying to weasel their ways in a setting where they can shine like the proverbial peace talking people and all whilst they are playing with the lives of others, they are hiding in a setting where they are safe, but their is no longer any safe place. There are no longer talks, President Trump made that impossible when they attacked on February 28th. So either they commit to eradicating Iran, or Iran becomes the biggest terrorist handler the world has ever seen and we are lucky, because this setting would be 100 times larger if Qasem Soleimani was still alive. That is the only luck we currently have and that is why we need to be decisive in all this and unite behind Saudi Arabia and the UAE. I personally feel more like an Emirati, mainly because I am no Muslim and Saudi Arabia is decently conservative Muslim. But that is probably the only reason. I still believe in the defense of Saudi Arabia, which is why I handed them my military IP. 

So when will the world wake up? When the oil stops delivering? When the Houthis decide that they should (with assistance) of Hezbollah turn towards Israel and Egypt? They are then merely one step away from France. So when that becomes a feeding ground towards pushing them all towards Shia Islam, what is stopping them? The undecided ones? It will be too late at that point. We have options at this point and as I see it the United States no longer is one, so we either unite with Saudi Arabia or we see our world come undone. And don’t put too much faith in the selective outrage of Antonio Guterres stating “I have never seen killing and destruction like Gaza”, where we should wonder what he was doing when we saw the fatalities of Ethiopia set to 750,000 to 797,000 people per year, 377,000 total deaths in Yemen, Sudan with 400,000 deaths, and Ukraine with an expected 525,000 fatalities? So, was Antonio Guterres asleep at the wheel? (Im just asking). We need to stop the lackeys of Iran and stop Iran, a two sided battle and there is no prize for the losers and if we remain undecided we will most certainly lose. A lesson that President Trump apparently never learned. Because he boasted to have defeated Iran over 30 times and as I see it Saudi Arabia as well as the UAE had to clean up the mess of this. So when this mess gets cleaned up, we need to see what to do next. I still think that China might be the solution to all this and I reckon that the EU comes around the moment the dangers of Hezbollah, Houthi and Iran becomes real, but that might be too late a setting and I have no idea how the intelligence of DGSE is. But if you are not an intelligence person you might never know and those who are aren’t putting this on their blog (as I am), a simple truth. But the best actions? I actually have no idea, but I see the danger (even if some make claim that there is none) recognising the dangers we are in is important, because that shows you who the undecided ones are and with that we could see where we can find an optional solution.

Have a great day today.

Rebranding the XXX farm

That is the image I see. It is an old story (I believe it came from the Donald Duck comics) and it was the 70s when I saw that particular story. Cattle was being ‘mismanaged’ and the three ducklings (aka Huey, Dewey, and Louie) found out what was happening. The diamond ranch, the W ranch and two more were missing cattle and it was the XXX ranch that had acquired them. The diamond was hidden in the 2 XX’s and the W was part of the XXX brand. It was a simple rebranding. Clever (I was merely 8-10 years old) but that was the simplicity of my weekly Donald Duck. So when I saw the News dot com dot AU and Defense One giving us ‘‘Super Intelligence’: the president’s new term for AI, explained’, his actions make perfect sense. You see AI doesn’t exist and whilst the courts are figuring out just how much it doesn’t exist yet. You see, what they all call AI is merely an advanced form of predictive analytics, with the margin of LLM, Machine Language and Deeper learning (I call that DML, Deeper Machine Learning) but it can only react to data it has and it is all done binary. My personal feeling is that real (or true) AI requires trinary data. But that is not what matters now. The setting is that more and more court cases will come and that presents a difficult case for these ‘AI vendors’ there is already the setting of copyright ‘theft’ (as I personally see it) and I have been a victim of that, thousands of my articles were (I assume) used for training. And whilst we see this, we now see that rebranding is in order and the President now calls it ‘Super Intelligence’ and that avoids the court cases where they take out the writings of Alan Turing and use that against these (now called) ‘Super Intelligence’. As such it is a clever ploy, but the ‘contracts’ out there will all require ‘reissuing’ if that is al all possible, if not the current court cases will commence, but new court cases are unlikely be successful because all the new court cases cannot use Alan Turing against ‘Super Intelligence’ I can still hold my ground and I will be proven correct over the whole range, but these ‘Super Intelligence’ can now hide behind a ‘miscommunication’ setting like they always do. I think it is hilarious that all these people hiding behind millions are so bad in communicating. Is that where their skills lie?

(Just asking), but there is a larger setting, you see this ‘Golden age of Super Intelligence’ will need rebranding and that is where the shoe will not fit. These investors have been suckered into the trough of Artificial Intelligence and I am speculating that these people will try to get out during or after the rebranding and cut their losses. Because they fear what they have since decently recent feared all along. They could lose what they once had and that is the next step in this ploy.  So when we get to “President Donald Trump on Tuesday announced a rebranding of the term “artificial intelligence,” saying during the United Nations General Assembly that from now on, it will be called “super intelligence.” “From this point forward, all of United States’ documents, and hopefully the world’s, will be changed to use the much more accurate term, ‘super,’ as opposed to ‘artificial’,” he said.” And it is the setting “hopefully the world’s” is where these second hand car salesman (aka AI vendors) see the setting that they are ‘merely’ adhering to what the President of the united States requested and required and it gets them off the hook (which is how I see this). 

So when we get to “Though the rebrand may have been a surprise to many, superintelligence is already an established term in AI literature. It was popularized in philosopher Nick Bostrom’s 2014 bestseller Superintelligence, which defines the term as “any intellect that greatly exceeds the cognitive performance of humans in virtually all domains of interest.” Artificial superintelligence, or ASI, thus refers to future AI systems that could be much smarter than humans, and contrasts with the weaker forms of AI that exist today.” And as far as I can tell, they all are silent on Alan Turing, that ship has sailed and now the age of damage control starts. They overreached and they fell short and now this so called golden age needs to be contained. These second hand car salesman all need to reset their views and they will all hide behind the miscommunication of new technology, but now it is all better, it will all be great and it will not. There is over two point five trillion dollars invested in all this and how do you think that will fare?

And I personally think the quote “But others say the possible renaming contributes to an ongoing conversation about AI’s growing abilities.” Relies not just on ‘contribution’ but to a larger extent to the stopping and avoiding of legal matters now in full swing. In addition ““‘Super’ does align well with the fact that AI is exceeding human capabilities in a growing range of tasks and by increasing margins, which can have distinct national security implications beyond simply matching human performance,” said Caleb Withers, a research associate for the Technology and Security Program at the Center for a New American Security.” Yet the entire ‘leap of faith’ the act in absence of data is also painted over. A strength that people have it seems that the article does not bare this out and the setting where we see this all important person named Caleb Winters is used to obfuscate what exactly? So whilst the article ends with “Trump reportedly worries that an AI slowdown could cause a market crash, and sees “super intelligence” as a critical sector for America to stay ahead of China. “Whoever wins AI, you have to remember this, and now I say, whoever wins SI, whoever wins super intelligence, wins. That’s the group that wins.”” And it is mere deceit. AI will take over a decade and that has been clear for some time, rebranding this does not alter the fact. And (as I personally see it) setting the “a critical sector for America to stay ahead of China” is even more laughable. Because the west is playing hockey with a Trump card (grok vs OpenAI vs Google Gemini vs whatever Microsoft has vs whatever Amazon has) and that goes up against whatever China has and so far I am not impressed with the results. I have no idea where China stands because I categorize all AI as fake AI, no matter where it is from and I gave my reasons in several articles. So far I have been proven correct nearly every time (I prefer nearly as I am unlikely to be  aware of everything) but the setting of this rebranding bothers me. In one setting that it was only possible if all the involved parties were aware of the dangerously thin ice they were on and as we get a song and dance of musical chairs where they all point at each other and state “We are abiding to the needs of our president” and more of that, all whilst they comprehended that this state was nearing its end. The Motley Fool gave us 4 hours ago ‘Sam Altman’s OpenAI Is in Talks for a New Funding Round Valuing It at $1.2 Trillion Instead of an IPO. Here’s Why He Called Going Public Now “Ill-Advised.”’ Where we see “In a recent interview with Fortune magazine, Altman said that — in light of safety concerns regarding OpenAI and other similar artificial intelligence platforms — “right now would be an ill-advised moment to go public.”

The safety concerns in question are the prospect that AI systems could make unchecked decisions on their own that result in measurable and meaningful harm to humanity, up to and including taking actions that cause human extinction.” I personally feel that this is a false statement and it has been a long time in the making and they fear (all these vendors) that the comedy caper ride is ending and as we n ow see the age of rebranding, there is more to come, but that takes time and the delay of over a decade will not be met and as I see it the involved parties are all aware of that. 

So, when you see these proclaimers of AI in the background, see that they are merely influencers trying to appease the hordes of people like flim flam artists and connected to all this are the vendors. The one advantage this gives us are these flim flam artists is the need to ‘adjust’ their story and I reckon that they aren’t all seeing eye to eye on any of this, because once burned twice shy. (An adjusted expression) and that is where we are at present and it is not over yet, not by a long shot and there is a third setting. Where exactly is China in all this, because that matters too. Because the actions of China in all this will reverberate all over the EU and the Gulf States and I wonder if the players in this game considered that. But as I see it, hatred of China won’t matter because the people have their vested interests and no interest in hatred that is where President Trump as well as the United States are flawed. So whilst we were given “whoever wins SI, whoever wins super intelligence, wins. That’s the group that wins” they seemingly forgot that SI is a new term, rebranding has a downside, it requires time and it seems that these wielders forgot about that. They need to rebrand their fake AI and at present the people are confused, it is all happening too fast and it is happening all whilst the people are realizing that their AI is not any kind of Super Intelligence. The people are realizing that they invested in an Edsel and you know what happened then, do you?

That is merely my view on this and I reckon that I am seeing it correctly, if not you can brand me the towns idiot. Because that is true too, I could be wrong. Only the king of idiots thinks that his truth is the only one that exists. I believe I am correct, but I will always consider that I could be wrong, it is a requirement of critical thinking. Have a great day you all.

The delusion express

That is what I am seeing and people who claim that I am so wrong could be correct. I don’t think anyone has any faith in what this Trump administration is trying to do and whist we are given ‘What’s the US–China AI ‘hotline’ that Trump plans to pitch to Xi Jinping?’ The first thought that comes to my mind is “And China cares about what Trump will bring?” And this is the first feeling that evades from my regarding the Al Jazeera article. So whilst we accept the concept of “Washington and Beijing discuss AI hotline idea amid escalating competition and restrictions on advanced technologies.” There is literally nothing bringing hope on whatever the message from Washington is. This is the consequence of a tour gone bad. So whilst we were given 2 hours ago (source: The Guardian) ‘Houthis move to seize strategic terrain after Trump calls off airstrikes at last minute’ we need to wonder what President Trump has achieved in the last 200 days whilst he started to Bomb Iran, now its Houthi terrorist allies are given some kind of fictive shield to attack Saudi Arabia. As such China needs to consider who they could topple whatever Washington does and that AI hotline should be placed in a DeepSeek AI IT tech centre. So when he calls it, we could get the following conversation

[Trump] This is President Trump, we have an AI that has gone wild
What version of DeepSeek are you using?
[Trump] We have no DeepSeek, it is ChatGPT, I think it is the beautiful latest version
And why would we care what your fake AI is doing to you?
[Trump] Is this the AI hotline?
this line is hot, we are always helping our DeepSeek users, we have over 130 million active users.
[Trump] disconnecting line sound

You get the idea, because the only people thinking that there is a Fake AI issue are the non-Chinese and with “The United States wants a new “notification mechanism” with China to warn each other when an artificial intelligence incident becomes serious enough to threaten national security. The proposal, effectively an “AI hotline”, was discussed on Sunday during talks in New York between US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng, ahead of a summit between US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping in Washington this week.” And the setting is real enough. Why would China worry of anything serious enough to threaten US National security? Think about that. The entire setting is a delusional setting and when we realise that there was a clear reason for me to call all AI fake, you might see where where this article goes. I reckon that the Russians are howling with laughter. And I reckon that China is on that same setting. There was someone who  who brought this up to the surface today.

Ben Affleck gave this interview 8 months ago. You can watch it (at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmgKA1FmKdk) and it is what I have been saying all along and being how he states it is quite brilliant. I use way too many characters to say the same thing. And when you realise where AI is, you gets to see the clown setting that President Trump and US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent are trying to pose to you. And this setting is merely two comedy characters trying to grow a case and a seeing that does not now, likely not ever come into play. Because in all this the setting relies on a True AI and not fake AI and we are over a decade too soon for that and whatever you see anywhere, and likely the valuation isn’t likely to happen any day soon, because they are already in a fight to keep their heads above water and that is less and less likely to happen now, especially as Iran and their Houthi terrorists are attacking Saudi Arabia. So whilst President Trump is halting their ‘drop-off’ points for things that go BOOM, oil is now not reaching the places that need it to fuel data centres, as such the capital expenditure will fail to meet the settings it needs to be and as Ben Affleck stated, the next wave might be 25% better, but cost 400% more and the return on this investment will fail near immediately and I saw this years ago and because several points aren’t being met the entire setting of fake AI is faulty. I see options and they are great, but also based on data that is available and AI needs to go further and that is still at least 5 steps short of what some people call True AI. So in this setting President Trump is trying to sell an AI hotline?

What is he? The representative of Radio Rental? (People in the UK and Canada will get this reference), so whilst we are given “US Treasury Secretary Bessent said Washington had proposed creating a US-China AI dialogue, with particular focus on national security and a notification system covering “common goals and common threats”. “We think that, just like with any cross-border activity, that moving from opaque to more transparency between the number one and the number two AI powers in the world is very important,” Bessent told reporters after Sunday’s discussions.” I see a failing setting in several places and whatever this hotline is, it is not about AI. So whilst we think that there is progress with ‘OpenAI Urges Washington to Lead Global Effort to Create AI-Safety Standards’ (source: WSJ) and the text given is “OpenAI is asking the U.S. government to lead an effort with other countries to develop global safety and security standards for building cutting-edge artificial-intelligence systems.” It is my personal believe that Sam Altman and his OpenAI is now entering the setting that Ben Affleck described as “the next wave might be 25% better, but cost 400% more” and Sammy Altman cannot sell this, so he needs a governmental buffer, so ho can state something along the way “We are ready, but the government wants security buffers” this is what I expect to happen and they have trillions in the mix and the longer they can postpone this, the safer they are. And in all this the inactions towards Iran and Houthi terrorists is changing that premise as well, because until last week no one every expected that Saudi Arabia would halt its oil deliveries and that will be hitting all over the EU soon enough. Their option will be that Canada can make some of the deliveries, but I reckon that it cannot fulfill the 100% required (I actually have no idea how much Canada could deliver within the next month) so that is another setting the EU will ave to deal with.

I advise you to watch the Ben Affleck interview on YouTube, it is near brilliant. So am I delusional, or it President Trump delusional? I am leaving this in the middle, because in several cases it could be me and when you realise that I was right all along, you will see the first setting of this delusion. The idea that fake AI is ‘this dangerous’ that a hotline with China is required, becomes a joke in itself. Because DeepSeek has been accused of distilling data and all kinds of acts, all whilst there is a massive shortcoming on Validation and Verification of all these fake AI engines. That realisation gives rise to the failing to meet the return on capital investment and that is the part that relies on trillions. It is a neat little line that goes everywhere and at that point. What would you think of Sam Altman and their ‘worries’. This is the stage you are all seeing and some are merely reporting this news. This is not on the Wall Street Journal, Al Jazeera, BBC, or CBC, but someone is fueling a fire in the wrong areas and you need to ask questions about that. 

Have a great day today.

Reverse CandE

That is what I am postulating. The setting of Cause and Effect. It is slightly better than the butterfly effect, which makes no sense in the chaos theory as their flapping wings will not explain the volcano’s on Indonesia or the drowning buffalos in India. But cause and effect, sometimes ‘explained’ away by ‘post hoc ergo propter hoc’, which is nice, but I also support the fallacy in all this that this is assuming a causal link simply based on the order of events in time. Time is never ever a proper setting, even though it is the one part we currently cannot influence at present. But the setting of cause and effect is clear and I have been reversing this for the longest of times, so I took the effects I saw and went back to the cause that caused it. It is a flawed setting, I know that because it depends on how much data I have, just like a fake AI, it can only postulate on data it has and draws a blank when that required data is missing.

So here we get to the Guardian (at https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/sep/17/trump-calls-eu-offer-to-canada-associate-membership-laughable-threatens-tariffs) where we see ‘Trump threatens to stop trading with EU over ‘laughable’ membership offer to Canada’ and some will laugh at his delusions, but I am looking deeper than that, is this another nail in the coffin  called the United States of America? I have supporting evidence all over my blog in the last two years. You see, that president is scared like a little bunny, because he is about to piss of all the members of power in Wall Street and there is no way they will go along with this. The earlier marker which was given to us yesterday by the BBC with ‘Trump hits out at US central bank’s decision to hike interest rates’, is saw this a lot earlier when I mentioned and compared the dangers of the United States with a setting in 1923 called the hyperinflation in the Weimar Republic. You know that time when you paid 50,000 Deutsch Marks for a cup of coffee and the United States is heading in that way (if it was up to this US administration) but the setting we are looking at now is given to us by the Guardian. So when we see “US president responds as Mark Carney seeks to move closer to Europe and diversify defence ties”, so as we see the delusional settings of the United States. We really should be looking at the counter settings. As Europe will also be setting the absurd need for oil (because go the Gulf States and the Iranian/Houthi terrorist settings) Europe and the EU have optionally secured their oil needs for the near future. I reckon that once the gulf states secure the routes they need to have and by law were allowed to have, they will deal with Iran and its terrorist links in not so subtle a way. 

And as President Trump is seen like a one trick pony and his ‘solution’ to everything “The US president said that if the EU moved forward with the plan, Washington could impose “very serious tariffs or stop trading with Europe”. He added: “If it’s a good intention, that’s fine. If it’s a bad intention, we’ll put very heavy tariffs on Europe.”” But here he misjudges things. You see, no one wants to do business with the USA and when you do not deal with the USA and completely shuts it off, there is 0 trade and as such 0 tariff. And the setting for the EU and Canada are clear. Canada secures a lot more trade and perhaps not in all fields, but the oil will make up for a lot and whilst Canada secures additional trades with other Commonwealth parties, Canada will be better off and as such so will the Commonwealth and the EU. 

So then we get to the juicy steak and with “Ursula von der Leyen said: “This is a partnership not against anyone else, but for our common strength. In short, we want to bring the relationship with Canada to the highest level possible.” In response to Trump’s comments, France’s Europe minister Benjamin Haddad said on Thursday that Washington had no power to veto EU decisions.” And with this the second hurdle Is broken, as Washington never ever had powers to veto the decisions of the EU, the view of delusion is clear. So whilst there is every chance that Canada selects the Gripen, and the EU selects Canada, we see in this economy of turmoil that Wall Street will either select a new president, or be washed up. Either way works for me and I worked from the effects we see to the cause that caused it all and it is not a pretty picture, because as I see it, others have seen this too and the population of the United States will face a massively harder time as costs will rise to surpass the amounts these people can afford. As I Personally see it, it will be a lot harder than the settings of the Great Depression (aka Wall Street crash of 1929) and it will be at least twice as bad now. It will be a lot worse because the options of getting something by paying 10% is no longer possible. The banks will be broke, the corporations will be broke and this was enabled by that fake golden age of AI, Consider that the elements that we are given are:

Microsoft has committed to a massive global multi-year CapEx cycle, nearing $190 billion, to build out the data center capacity required for the AI economy. But the reverse is also seen. Data sovereignty in the EU and the commonwealth will shut them out of massive amounts of data and this is already happening, but the ‘investment’ cycle is still held in high esteem. So what happens to a data centre that has no data, or basically much too little? Now Microsoft who is valued at 3.70 trillion will not worry about that 190 billion, but the grease wheels expect return on investment and that is not coming into their books until late 2035, so what happens? Google and IBM are in a much better place, but Amazon and Oracle will shed blood and plenty of that and this will be going on until the late 2030. And all alt the US economy needs to pay poverty a trillion dollars in interest. There is no question about how great the US economy is, it is not and someone has to pay the piper. That is what I saw over two years ago with the little settings that was clear and now Wall Street will need to adjust the sails and they will sail away from President Trump, he is now a clear and present danger to the US economy. Jamie Dimon and David Kelly (the fat cats of JP Morgan) had already raised alarms in October 2025 and matters have only gone from bad to worse. The world at large is shunning the US as an ally and an economic partner. Optionally only Japan remains, but they likely have no choice in that matter.

So what are the causes for the United States? I would say delusional settings. You see, what gave the United States the idea that they could veto whatever the EU decided on? What gave them the idea that Canada would ever be a 51st state and what gave them the idea that the Gulf States would sit by whilst Washington renamed the Strait of Hormuz to the Strait of America? What possessed America to take lead in Danish territory (aka Greenland)? There are all matters that are effects of a case that is simply put that the United States is scraping the bottom of their economic barrel. They are out of funds and now basically out of time too and the midterms are about 8 weeks away and the current president is now too afraid to face the American public and they have had enough of him. The cost of their survival is about to be shown in real numbers and that is what this president fears. No matter how much he promises them for their vote, they are now seeing that he cannot afford anything, so they get nothing. Simple cause and effect.

Have a great day today and consider taking time to enjoy a decent breakfast and a coffee today.

Droning right along

That is the setting I saw in my mind. A drone solution to a screwed up situation and the Houthi terrorists have themselves to thank for that. So as I saw the news from different places. The BBC gives us (at https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c23x72yx2rvo) ‘Houthis claim major advance in Yemen and tighten grip on Red Sea shipping lane’ where we see “The Iran-backed group seized Perim Island at the mouth of the waterway in the Bab al-Mandab Strait, a source from Yemen’s internationally recognised government told the BBC. It comes a day after the Houthis captured the strategic port city of Mokha from Saudi-backed pro-government forces, according to military sources. A Yemeni military official told the AFP news agency the Houthis now control the entire coastline.” With the additional “The Houthis earlier said they posed no threat to international shipping but reiterated their threat to target vessels from Saudi Arabia. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the country’s de facto ruler, has personally pressed US President Donald Trump to take military action against the Houthis during their rapid advance, two sources familiar with the matter told CBS News – the BBC’s media partner in North America.

Trump has so far declined to involve the US military directly, offering instead to assist with intelligence and targeting support, the sources said.” So as the United States cannot clean up their messes, because all this got pushed to the surface by Iran engaging through Houthi Terrorists (yes, BBC, these troops are terrorists) Saudi Arabia is pushed to do something, as President trump seemingly is declining to involve the US military directly, I see a solution where the United States are pushed out of the Middle East completely, with a simple optional presence in Tel Aviv. We get China to render assistance. And in that setting I see drones getting involved (in my mind the lyrics from ‘moving right along’ by the Muppets is droning in my head. 

[KERMIT]              Droning right along
                    In search of allies and methods
                   With allies that can’t lose
[FOZZIE]               This would be upgraded
[KERMIT]                 Opportunity knocks once let’s reach out and grab it
                                   Together we’ll jack it
[FOZZIE]                  We’ll grab it, make and amuse it
[KERMIT] (spoken) Amuse it?

You get the idea and this is not entertainment, although the creativity that surrounds it might make it so. And for terrorists we need to think differently. As I suspect, the capture of Mocha was merely to get the influx of weaponry going (their number one goal) and there I see the setting of another wave of expediency.
So as we get to the drones we need several new settings. A spy drone (explanation down the track and delivery drones. 
The spy drone would be (depending on the vessel) parked in a higher place (like a ships mast) or is the ship allows it parked on top of the wheelhouse, or behind the wheelhouse, stuck behind the bowel of the ship. It serves two purposes, the first is to monitor anything it can and capture any transmission it can. It is about to become important. You see the delivery drones do two things. Deliver the surface mines and the ball mines. The surface mines blow the hull, the ball mines are dropped right above the hole and the water influx into the vessel will suck it into the ship. At that point all hell brakes lose and these smugglers will contact whomever they can, because when they fail, they lose a lot of revenue and their vessel. So they will cry for help in all directions and the spy drone will capture all this and their jamming capabilities will make sure that this doesn’t go any further. Optionally, they can delay the second they have into minutes of agony and record all that is going on. Optionally capture the names of IRGC members. 
So depending on the size of the vessel, 2-3 drones are all that is required and when they deliver the payload they fly back. The balminess are a different matter. They explode like fragmentation mines and make a mess of what is inside the vessel. As I see it (see below) 

The ball mine has these blue balls, which are an optional weaker version of a Neodymium magnet, it might be one, but I do not think that this strong a magnet is required. As a back it has the electronics on the inside, the outer shell is a metal with the magnets on top of it (see more pictures below) and as the ball moves, it can move into any direction, it might be moved by the spy drone, but getting it on the wall and moving up is basically what is needed and Machine Language is all that is required. The ball moves into position and blows, making a mess of anything inside the ship and optionally the machine room will be taken out, making the vessel a sinking dead duck. 

as you see it is metal, the magnets and the C4, a simple solution with low cost, no missiles required. This ball could be used in the field as well, but there it has a much bigger role. So as we see that drones could be dropping their ordinance, or used as portable claymores, we have a setting against terrorists. We merely have to engage the biggest groups and take out these terrorists. You see, President Trump. I need not waste billions on missiles and long winded speeches, up to 5 drone operators, sitting at a comfy chair with their own playbooks is all that was required. I reckon the Chinese party in this, might throw in that comfy chair for free. And that is all she wrote. A simple solution taking care of terrorists. The balminess can directly engage with vehicles and attach to them and whilst they blow, these adversaries are not given a long life. 
It took me mere hours to come up with this and I feel happy, activistic and pragmatic. Solution that doesn’t not require to heavily invest in anything worthy, let alone a terrorist group. And s the numbers pile up, I reckon that Iran will suddenly cry like a little girl, call everyone names and they can cry us all a river on Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC. Perhaps they find a sympathetic ear there.
So as I see it, Saudi Arabia can use these designs to get a working model, free of charge. Even though I would kindly ask that any oil requests from the Commonwealth will get a sympathetic ear. I am a commonwealthian after all. My mind came up with several other idea in the application of Claymore devices, as they are dropped from drones and as these drones need not be wasted, we can engage with stronger drones and leave a rather nasty red stain on wherever we engage these terrorists. I think that I used my time in a productive setting the hour. Time for me to watch some TV and consider playing a game or two in a few hours.

You all have a great day.

Days of our lives

Yes, that is the setting and it is like a drama, a soap and at times an inverted romcom where hate is the operative word. The Guardian (at https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/sep/10/china-huawei-trial-us) gave us today ‘China’s Huawei branded a criminal enterprise as tech firm’s US trial opens’ as such we see the accusation “A US prosecutor described China’s Huawei as a criminal enterprise that stole from US companies to build its telecommunications empire, as the trial against the tech company kicked off in Brooklyn federal court on Wednesday.” And as ‘the media’ labelled me as “pragmatic activist” (which made me feel like a million bucks) and this article let me be my activist self and I will throw some pragmatic sides to it.  

So when we are given ““Theft, lies, cover-up,” Taylor Stout, a trial attorney from the US Department of Justice, said in the government’s opening statement. “For 20 years, that’s how Huawei, a massive Chinese telecommunications company, victimized American companies and abused the American financial system, all in an effort to dominate the telecommunications industry around the world.”” I have had it with the United States. They lie, they cover up and as I see it, they steal. The lie? Well I can start with the 66 times that they defeated Iran, then there are the media analyses that frequently examine altered accounts of historical events, such as Trump’s top six falsehoods about 9/11 covering his whereabouts and observations and the list goes on. Then we come to the setting where we demand the evidence of wrongdoings by Huawei and we get a tirade of boasts and colorful language, but where is that list of a summary of wrongdoings? 

Then we get the cover ups. What was covered up? The cover up is as I saw it that the techno boys of the United States set on their bedsides allegedly overdosing on viagra and had their non-wives please them and they felt happy about it and that happened deep into the 2000’s in the meantime China ploughed along and created innovative technology, so innovative that a German intelligence officer told the Dutch Welle (I think) was the one that gave us “We do not understand that technology” it was that advanced and in 2020 Statista reported that countries who had Huawei showed us that they had download speeds of 377.2 Mbps whilst the US only had 52 Mbps. We can get all kind of reasoning, but the truth is that the United States is massively behind. (according to Statista) So then we get to the stealing part. So where are these 13 billions in Venezuelan oil revenue? So, recent reports and congressional investigations accuse President  Trump of taking or misusing money through classified document retention, cryptocurrency ventures, and blocked federal funds. And as such, we see Huawei getting accused of these acts? Whilst Huawei is showing the world the Matebook fold. 

It blows whatever Apple/Microsoft/Google has out of the water. That is not theft, they innovated over a year ago and they blew whatever the United States has out of the water, that is not theft that is innovation and (for the clarity of Taylor Stout) Innovation is “introducing a new idea, method, product, or way of doing things that creates fresh value” and it is something that Huawei has been doing for over a decade. And when we get the real list, a clear list of what was stolen from the United States business corporations, just pretend it is a Christmas list. 

So when we get to “Huawei conspired to steal trade secrets from five US companies, including operating system source code for internet routers from Cisco Systems and a robotic arm to test phones from T-Mobile, to gain an unfair competitive advantage and grow its business, the prosecutor told jurors.” I am not going into some ‘they would never do that’ part. Basically all corporations are alike and I reckon that Chinese firms are likely the same. But my resounding setting is that (at present) Huawei is the real innovator. Apple was innovative, Google likely is innovative at present and in my personally biased view Microsoft is basically a has been. Huawei has been pouncing the 4G and 5G settings and as I see it, those banning Huawei are likely shooting themselves in the foot. But I am not the real expert in these matters, but (as far as I can tell) the entire ‘anti-Huawei’ setting is brought on by the United States by there anti-Chinese sentiment. So as this trial is likely to represent an episode of Days of our lives, we need to see where this ends. Likely it will get really ugly as the United States is bleeding revenue all over the place and whilst we see “The U.S. federal budget deficit for fiscal year 2026 has reached approximately $1.8 trillion as of July, with total projections nearing $1.9 trillion to $2 trillion by the end of the fiscal year” and that is before ewe realise that their interest payment for over $1 trillion is likely due too. And in the setting we see that innovative Huawei is more than likely to take a chunk of market share from corporations in the USA. 

We can optionally debate if that is likely to happen, but the anti-USA sentiment is getting stronger in Europe, the Commonwealth and the Gulf States all whilst these places have a growing interest in Chinese deals. And as the article implies that we will get months and months of anti-China sentiments. All whilst the world has had it with the United States, as such these anti-China sentiments will not go far outside of the United States. And whilst we get the prosecution side of ‘legal grandstanding’ and there could be a pilot, a twist (I reckon that any drama setting running 62 seasons) will have a few plots, twists and cliffhangers. A setting we will see evolve over the next few weeks in the newspapers and these media romcoms called ‘News at 9’ (could be 7 or 8) I’ll end this story about Microsoft and their issue they had with Netscape in 1998, at what point did they label Microsoft as a criminal enterprise? Just asking.

Have a great day and enjoy the legal twists the news will be serving up in the next few weeks.

The Tourist package

That is not always what it seems, but in this case it is a setting that Google (Apple too) could facilitate. Not sure where Apple is, because I am an android person, but safari as I can tell (using my iPad and so forth) Apple could fit this setting too.

My mind was wondering as I was on a imaginary well deserved vacation to Abu Dhabi and I was walking the Yas mall. Some ideas struck me, there was no real reason of this and there was no setting to this, it merely hit me. So, when you are on vacation, you tend to be away from it all and for me (a pure workaholic at heart) that is not always as good as it sounds. And there the idea started to come. So whilst I was aware of Chrome cast and Google Streamer (a little less aware of that one). Ideas started to form. You see, we all have this setting that we want to know what is possible and the idea formed that Google needed an Away option. An encrypted setting that could make a difference. So as this ‘package’ is set to your mobile, it can be filled with all kinds of information

Favorite TV series
Your original location, 
Newspapers, 
TV stations,
News stations,
Sport details,
and a few more after this.

So whilst most hotels now have smart TV’s, the tourists do not use this to the max and that is where my idea came in. And it was not just hotel, there are plenty of places where you have access to a TV and there is the rub. Why not use any of these options?

So whilst in your hotel, the mobile can be set to focus on ‘away’ events and that could also impart with government settings. For example someone visits Abu Dhabi from Amsterdam and they are in Abu Dhabi and in stead of searching for all information, the app has an encrypted package that is fed into the system and through that Google/Apple is able to distill information to you and to your TV. Making sure that the package is not left in the hotel, it will remain on your mobile. And it is read to the Google streamer system (or its equivalent Apple system) so when you are wherever you are (I used Abu Dhabi as an example) the network will give you what you need to know, including government warnings (it there are any) The simple thing is that this system can be upgraded any place you want, but it is left on your mobile. 

So whilst we do not consider this directly, local news settings could be part of this and when hotels upgrade their Google/Apple streaming settings when they are ready all the guests tend to be ready too. So whilst you can direct search settings and compute them in the app you use, for example: ‘Netherlands, NOS, News, [Amsterdam], [Netherlands]’ and a whole range of other settings. For example your favourite news on YouTube like for example CBC News could be added and so forth. The idea is that you have a clear setting when you go on vacation and you will be instantly alerted to things happening when they are. And the you get back to your hotel and you select the app, the TV gives you the latest issues in play.

I reckon that Google/Apple might want to get ahead of this, because this idea doesn’t stay quiet for long and that is the case with any idea. So, if this interests you, have a go and be happy and if not, then not. Vacation is to be enjoyed, but I have learned that staying out of touch comes with a few setbacks and they need not be that for you. I merely had an idea and I decided to offer it to the net and see what comes of it. Optionally it is my delusional thoughts that have no place on vacations, but the setting in the USA at the moment are bringing that setting to the surface and whilst we acknowledge that Kathryn Bigelow’s ‘A house of dynamite’ is merely that, a movie, a story but when you see that the white house loudly announces “President Donald J. Trump has secured U.S. majority control of more than 65 billion barrels of proven oil reserves in Venezuela” and when we are also given “all at zero cost to the United States” people tend to get nervous, because a barrel yields about 19 to 20 gallons (72 to 75 liters) and as petrol is now at roughly $4 a gallon, the White House seemingly proclaimed that they got $5.2 trillion dollars in fuel, at zero cost? What kind of government does that? As such people are getting nervous and I thought of a solution where people could go on vacation and at a moments notice keep informed. That and the fact that people in Nepal could have used this solution optionally last week. It wouldn’t stop the disaster, but in times of stress information remains at a moments notice (if possible) and in arms length. So that is another idea and I might be Google ended, but as I see it Apple could use it too or Elon Musk’s Star link. Because in times of stress there is reason to opt this as wide as possible and I am not on the payroll of any of these three, I feel perfectly validated to hand it to all. 

Have a great day you all (hopefully free of stress)

Just a coincidence

That is what it looks like and that is what I think it is. You see, two days ago I wrote ‘Haters will be haters’ (at https://lawlordtobe.com/2026/08/25/haters-will-be-haters/) and I wrote more going back all the way back to May 2025. So when I saw Al Jazeera giving us ‘France, Saudi Arabia agree on $7bn theme park project near Paris’ (at https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/8/25/france-saudi-arabia-agree-on-7bn-theme-park-project-near-paris) I felt relief. You see, France might be the first step, but there is every chance that Saudi Arabia is taking that knowledge to parks in Saudi Arabia. So it was not what I did, I merely foresaw what would happen and the setting towards the United States losing the advantage had in theme parks is now at an end, and all whilst they paid $7 billion to $7.7 billion is the estimated cost to build Universal’s Epic Universe in Orlando, Florida just a year ago. And whilst this US administration is making matters worse, the world is uniting to make it more appealing to visit theme parks outside of the United States. Abu Dhabi with its Yas Island already achieved near perfection in theme parks and as I see it, Saudi Arabia is doing the same thing and optionally in different ways I still believe that an Arabian fairy tale park in Riyadh or Jeddah. My guess is that Jeddah might be the next thing. It has 4 million and it could divert congestion in Riyadh. Jeddah is ‘merely’ 955 km away. Should a high speed railway be added to this track that trip could be reduced to 3 hours and open up (allegedly) other settings as well. 

So as we read “France and Saudi Arabia have announced plans for a six-billion-euro ($7bn) amusement park near Paris, following talks between French President Emmanuel Macron and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman at the Elysee Palace.” This is good for both countries. Knowledge and dividend go hand in hand here and I reckon that this will also have an appeal to the 6 million muslims in France. So as the setting increases the dividends also increase and too bad for the United States, less income for them. But that is baking up the wrong tree as they now proclaim ‘U.S. Remains World’s Largest Travel & Tourism Market But WTTC Warns That the Country is at a Crossroads’ with “The United States remained the largest Travel & Tourism market in the world in 2025 but is losing market share according to the World Travel & Tourism Council’s (WTTC) latest Economic Impact Research, sponsored by its Lead Research Partner, Chase Travel.” (Source: World Travel & Tourism Council’s) and as I see it, they will lose a lot more in the years 2027/2028. Especially when the EU, Saudi Arabia and the UAE up the ante for tourism. So whilst I was right all along in a few ways, I cannot take credit for these actions. I feel certain that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, as well of mist of the people in charge have never heard of my blog and I believer that this is the truth (no matter how much I need those coins) the truth of the matter is that I saw these settings come up and whilst some are in denial and ‘editing’ their numbers I saw the bigger game and that is why the United States with all their ‘toddler’ acts of changing Lake Ontario to Lake America these distractions are putting the media on the wrong foot, the real setting is that America is losing money and they are losing more and more and I was happy to help them lose money. You really shouldn’t attack people I care about (I meant Canada) and whilst we see more and more losses for America, I also thought it was important that the Commonwealth and the EU had places to go as such I saw Saudi Arabia and the UAE as the most likely candidates. The UAE had Dubai and Abu Dhabi, Saudi Arabia had Riyadh and I think that they could use a second setting as such Jeddah and Dammam came up. Jeddah is bigger, as such more likely to have a lot to offer and the draw back of Dammam is that on the other side of the Sea of Dammam is Iran, not the best place until they are deleted from existence. On the other hand Jeddah is a mere 400 km from Medina, the place where the prophet Muhammed established the first Islamic state, united the local tribes, and built the political and religious center of early Islam. As such this place should be have a large appeal to the 1.9 billion Muslims and that needs to be taken into account, especially if there is a tourism growth in Saudi Arabia. 

So I felt relief and actual happiness to learn that Saudi Arabia is growing its footprint in the EU. That this footprint is transferred to Saudi Arabia is merely simple sense in the matter. And my ego likes the feeling that I have been right all along in more than one way. I will admit that I did not see this setting come, but in light of what I learned in the Al Jazeera piece “The project stemmed from a discussion between Macron and MBS in December 2024 in Riyadh, where they discovered their “shared passion” for manga, “and in particular Dragon Ball Z”, an adviser to the French president told reporters.” And in my ‘haters will be hater’ story (see link above) I wrote “optionally the Boulevard City (Riyadh) if they could set this to famous Arabic cartoons.” So suddenly that part and the part where we see ““shared passion” for manga, “and in particular Dragon Ball Z”” are starting to take shape in a few connected ways. But that might merely be me. I didn’t know about the one and I am still believing that this coincidence was insightful, but nothing more than that. So whilst we look at these ‘coincidences’ we need to see that my insight has a setting that is driven to the growth of ideas and IP’s and my stories bare that out, so when other elements are proving me right, there is relief and I feel slightly less nuts (because for the most I am). So whilst the people give credence to calling a place that was appearing in maps and records by the mid-17th century and it is set in Canada and it is now ‘delusionally’ opted to be named Lake America, where are the crazy vibes coming from? I feel happy to give The United States more to worry about and hand tourism ideas to places outside of the United States and apparently French President Emmanuel Macron is on that same page (for obvious local reasons)

So have a great day and consider where you are now and where you need to be after 2028, because when the American dream comes crushing down, you are left with nightmares and that is not me, it came from Andrew Sheng, a prominent Malaysian banker who stated that in the documentary Inside Job (2010) he literally said “When those dreams turn out to be nightmares, other people pay for it.” As such it makes sense that you are away from that place when the nightmares come calling. But that might merely be me. Have a great day.

Haters will be haters

That is the setting I saw. You see, I have been looking at some of the video’s on the theme parks and see what could be applied towards theme parks in Saudi Arabia and the UAE (not the same ideas) and when I saw the video on Universal Kids which is based in Frisco, Texas. So as I was expecting some hater view, but the delivery was pretty spot on, I would say that the people in Saudi Arabia and in the UAE (Miral) should see the video (or visit on person) to see how things should not be done. You see, I saw the setting of the park called Le Puy du Fou (France) and it would be a great idea for Sindalah giving the people (and tourists) a decent entertaining frontier for those in Sindalah. There was the setting of rides in the Dutch Efteling which could have embossed Warner Bros. World, Yas Island, Abu Dhabi (this was before the Harry Potter park was announced) but that should not have stopped the idea. You see, as the United States falls deeper and deeper into disfavor with the tourists in the world, these people want an alternative and as some people do not want the pressure and the massive heavy congestion, packed buses, and crowded pedestrian crossings that Tokyo brings (I still hope to see it with my own eyes at some point). But the settings are out there and I want to be careful not to promote haters (they’ll always remain haters) but the story behind Universal Kids is a warning that should not be ignored and whilst it is true that it is great for young children, the setting that rides like these should be added to Riyadh and Abu Dhabi. You see I am the kind of person that does not agree that it should fit all, there are places that are specifically for Kids (the young ones). The Efteling (Netherlands) has the mushroom forest, which is not for the adults (parents excepted). But this setting could easily be added to the Park Dubai Miracle Garden, and optionally the Boulevard City (Riyadh) if they could set this to famous Arabic cartoons. So whilst there are plenty of options, the stage for both requires additions (optionally upgrades) and the biggest seen setting here it Ferrari World, as I see it, it was created in 2010, as such upgrades/additions are pretty essential, especially as the official tickets go for $131.25, but there are cheaper versions like the Abu Dhabi pass which costs a mere $22, so plenty of money savers to be found, but I think that additions are required. And that gave me an idea to something I noticed, a setting that has a random factor in it all, I give you the following two pics. It is the mere setting of the ride (not the ride itself) you need to get a graphic designer for that.

and

So we see the first image and these circles are the ride connector discs, and whilst the ride has a random factor, the setting is that you go from disc to disc towards the end. There is a logical ‘randomisation’ on how the ride progresses and that ride gives a little extra, then the lower image is the second setting, and the three parts after that is the demarcation place at the end of the ride, after which the rides go back to the start. 

A few years ago I gave (based on the setting of the Efteling Dream flight) a magic carpet ride, but there are a few safety issues. I was going from a seat on the carpet with a safety belt on it. I came to the conclusion that a bag of gemstones and gold could be added as a chair and get the safety belt on that. But the appeal was the flight over the park and an added setting for the ride, as such it could still be added and whilst it might sound corny, the setting might work. So there was that. And it matters now, as there is too much negativity of the current parks of the United States. And whilst too many are seeking another option, one that keeps the United States out of it all, that setting is very likely to be in play in 2027-2031, because this president has made the United States a no place to visit for several years after he is put up to pasture (which is in 2029) and it will take years for tourism to pick up after that. As such, we need more and whilst the EU has its places (and very good ones), there is place for Saudi Arabia and the UAE to shine stronger as a tourist location and when you consider that they could find appeal to the 1.9 billion muslims there is growing interest from non-muslims. As such both places Abu Dhabi/Riyadh might increase the setting of a growing touristy population. 

As such the race is on, because some are seeing that the United States is becoming a no-go place (especially for Canadians) but other countries are feeling the same way. Have a great day all.

If his lips are moving

It was the first thing I considered. You see, I saw an article and it made my blood boil, but a few seconds later I was considering some of the options that this could have been enabled through ruses. So what gives?

The article that pushed me was ‘Trump says Canada wants ‘benefits’ of being US state after trade talks collapse’ (source: BBC) where we see “US President Donald Trump has said Canada wants “the benefits of being a state, without being one” after trade talks between the two countries collapsed late on Friday. The breakdown of negotiations triggered new 50% US tariffs on a range of Canadian goods. Trump also said American farmers had been charged “massive amounts of Tariffs” for years.” What I think happened is that Prime Minister Carney pulled the deal and he could have said “What is even the benefit of being in a partnership without having an actual partner?” Or something to that effect and as we see the Guardian giving us “Carney, whose willingness to stand up to Trump has made him popular in Canada, has said that “America has changed,” and that the two countries would not return to their old relationship. The Canadian public has also been incensed by US policy towards their country, particularly Trump’s comments about turning Canada into the 51st US state. A petition to expel the US ambassador to Canada, Pete Hoekstra, has collected about 248,000 signatures, accusing him of normalising the notion of the US annexing Canada.” As such we now see that a trade war is in effect between our friends in Canada and that place where idiots reside (a place between Canada and Mexico) and it is time that we openly support our brethren (sisters too) in Canada. 

And as the Guardian is also giving us ‘The lesson from Canada’s collapsed trade talks with the US: negotiation may be futile’ where we see “Breakdown shows Washington now prioritises its own interests over any semblance of shared economic ground”, which is weird as I have stated this for some time and the actions of ‘America First’ gives that same notion and the forced attempts of annexing Canada, Greenland, Venezuela and recently the claim ‘Trump says he views strait of Hormuz as ‘American territory’’ (source: the Guardian) almost 3 days ago, I’ll say that the setting of America First has taken a massive turn for the worse. And I say it is time for the leaders of the Commonwealth to come out clearly and loudly saying that they support Prime Minister Carney in every way possible. I saw options to put the screws onto President Trump by all the Commonwealth parties switching from the United States to Canada for delivery for as much as possible and if booze is so under attack through Canada (with almost 35 million people) consider what the Commonwealth could do with 2.7 billion and optional support of the EU, if we all cancel whatever booze contracts we have, the United States loses its alcohol empire, or merely sell it to the United States, which won’t hold up for long at present. And that is merely the beginning because other news (unconfirmed) is that places like Disney is in trouble. There were reports that Disney raised prices on several settings for the second time and people were ‘complaining’ that food is becoming too expensive, there were mentions that the tourists were bringing their own food and Disney had also shedded staff members and we see “Disney is executing multiple waves of layoffs in 2026, cutting hundreds to thousands of roles across major divisions like Marvel, Pixar, ESPN, and Lucasfilm as part of an ongoing cost-containment strategy” (source: Fox 4 Dallas) which implies that as tourism is in danger in the United States, things are considerably worse then I thought. The so called ‘everything is honky dory’ is a little less secure. As such the bullying tactic of President Trump makes a lot more sense now. I made several reports on the United States being almost broke and now I see that this is closer to the mark then even I considered. So when we see the quote in the Guardian “Jamieson Greer, the US trade representative, has said the US was compelled to act after a year of retaliatory measures by Canada. He told Fox & Friends Weekend: “We’ve said enough and so we’ve taken counter-measures. Our interest is in protecting American workers and protecting American supply chains.” Dan Kelly, president of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, estimated that 40% of small Canadian exporters will be directly hit by the US tariffs, and that nearly one-third expect their revenues will drop by 50% or more as a result.” And whilst this dumbo named Greer keeps on making mention of ‘retaliatory measures’ can we please clearly define his BS by repeating that they started calling Canada the 51st state again and again and the Canadians were fed up with this and decided to shun American booze and goods. And as a Commonwealthian I fully support their actions and I believe it is mandatory for all Commonwealthians to come together and support Canada in any way we can, assistance from the EU would be appreciated in this. I think they have had enough of the bully in the White House and as such they might consider the very same settings I have considered. As tourism dies down, the economic impact on the United States goes from bad to worse. Still there is more, Al Jazeera (at https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2026/8/22/iran-war-live-trump-says-tehran-not-ready-to-make-right-deal-to-end-war) gives us ‘Tehran says US sanctions ‘declaration of war’ on all nations’ where we see “US Energy Secretary Chris Wright has hailed the US’s oil and gas production as global energy remains strained due to disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. “American oil and gas workers have driven production to an all-time high, making the US the world’s largest producer of oil and natural gas,” said Wright in a post on X. Earlier, Wright also claimed the US military helped ship more than 15 million barrels of oil and other products out of the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday this week.” Why is this important? Because the United States was reliant on ‘cheap oil from the Middle East to offset the sales and now the United States needs this oil a lot more than ever before, as such the oil revenue is down. This American Administration is all about the good news, not the counter balance of these events and that only strengthens the others to support Canada in these times. And whilst the Irish times (at https://www.irishtimes.com/world/canada/2026/08/23/we-got-attacked-canada-to-retaliate-after-trump-imposes-50-tariffs/) gives us ‘‘We got attacked’: Canada to retaliate after Trump imposes 50% tariffs’ with the text “Canada will impose tariffs on some US goods in retaliation for 50 per cent ‌levies on Canadian products, prime minister Mark Carney said on Saturday, after trade talks collapsed between the two neighbours.

The “dollar for dollar” tariffs on imports of US steel, electronics and other products, to take effect on September 8th, mark a further worsening of relations between the long-time allies and major trading partners. The two countries failed to reach a trade deal late on Friday, with each side blaming the other for derailing three days of intensive negotiations. The breakdown complicates the future of a US-Mexico-Canada free-trade pact.” As well as “Carney is one of the few global leaders to retaliate against US tariffs ‌and has pledged to forge new trade and military alliances, despite Canada’s dependence on the United States for nearly 70 per cent of its exports.

US trade representative Jamieson Greer called the breakdown “a missed opportunity for Canada to partner with the United States,” saying no new talks were planned with Canada.

“We’re moving forward with measures that respond to Canadian retaliation,” Greer told Fox News. “They’ve always had the best deal, and they still would have an even better deal, but they didn’t want that.”” I personally believe that Jamieson Greer is the kind of person we all need to take under a magnifying glass after President Trump loses the midterms and those who went along with this charade (like Ambassador Pete Hoekstra) and in all this, I reckon that the State Department of the United States will have a sweet time getting anyone to trust them in the near future. But all this seems to point towards the biggest default in human history, because when this comes to blows, whomever trusted this president to put money in a debt that is not seeing any resolution will likely lose that money and there is a chance that they had it insured (like the setting they had in 2004) but that implies that insurance firms will lose whatever they had and this also implies that the United States is a very unwelcoming place for a long time. But not to fret, there is still the EU, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Japan and a few other places, so there are options for plenty of people and whilst the United States lose more and more, we could also redirect advertising, because that market is generating over $1 trillion a year, but in that new setting, what were the big winners named Alphabet (Google), Meta, and Amazon capture over half of all global advertising spend is now going to new places. It could still involve them but now from the Commonwealth and the EU, likely taxed to a far degree, as such I saw markets that the United States could lose, in the size setting of $300,000,000 to $450,000,000 per year, as such the United States will amazingly likely not be able to pay next year interest. And should these players allow China to inter their settings, the damage merely increases for the United States. 

So I started this with an expression “If his lips are moving, he is lying” And what gives me that setting? Well, over 100 general assertions that the U.S. defeated Iran, at least 38 claims that a final deal or resolution was imminent, and numerous intermittent assertions that the military phase ended within the initial hours or weeks of the engagement gives me the first right and the press has not been setting that premise correctly, merely sitting on the sidelines, trying to cash in on the digital dollars and that is about to go sideways in a few ways. Still, there is an option where I am wrong, but I don’t think so, the news is getting out more and more and the parties who should have intervened never did, as such there are several sides ‘overlooked’ and that is where I push the buttons, so think of this what you will and feel free to disagree with me, but wasn’t the fact that the US is so set on their booze getting imported into Canada, whilst placing limitations on Canada’s sovereign right to pursue and sign trade agreements with other international countries wasn’t a decent giveaway? When things are that outspoken, there is decent evidence that the United States is broke beyond belief and the last round bell sounded a few days ago. But that is merely my view on the matter. Have a great day and I wish Canadians all the strength that they can muster in these hard times.
